2016 Year In Review

December 31, 2016

2016 hasn’t been the best year to the world. But between finishing the first year of my Ph.D., living in the Pacific Northwest this summer, and passing qualifying exams, I tried to make the most of the tumultuous year.

Since everyone else is doing it, below is my own 2016 Year in Review.

The Serious Stuff

May: After finishing my first year of graduate school, I made a tough decision to switch research groups. It was exactly what I needed.

December: For my Information Visualization class, my group-mates and I made A Viz of Ice and Fire, an interactive, narrative visualization summarizing the visual and textual aspects of the hit HBO series Game of Thrones.

What’s Next?

Just like last year, I’ll keep making the monthly playlists to find new music throughout the year. I’d also like to write some more technical blog posts too, most likely related to my graduate research.

But for now that’s all I have. Thanks for sticking around, and I’ll see you in 2017!
